Chintan Bhagat, 2025

The Mumbai skyline shimmered under a sky heavy with monsoon clouds, a canvas of bruised-purple and deep indigo that promised a deluge. Below, the towers of Bandra and Worli pierced the dusk, their glittering lights just beginning to challenge the fading day. The Arabian Sea churned restlessly, its waves, the color of slate, crashing against the black tetrapods with a relentless, percussive roar that was the city's very heartbeat. In this metropolis that never slept, where time was a currency always in short supply, the air itself carried a unique tension—a palpable weight composed of salt, humidity, diesel fumes, and the million whispered secrets drowned in the daily deluge of human lives. The Bandra-Worli Sea Link, a breathtaking marvel of steel and concrete, stretched across the bay, its cable-stayed pylons like skeletal fingers reaching for the heavens, their lights beginning to blink in a steady, hypnotic rhythm against the glittering panorama. Tourists, drawn by the spectacle, lined the promenades, their phone cameras flashing like a swarm of fireflies, capturing a beauty that was only skin deep. The locals, however, knew the truth. In a city built on dreams and desperation, any place of beauty could hold a story too dark to tell.
